"Yeah, I did."
It even has a scene of someone mugging a woman in an indoor parking lot. Sure tells you a lot when a party is lined up against the US Chamber of Commerce. What is their biggest ideological sin-being in favor of business? Next thing you know, they'll be attacking the Red Cross or the American Cancer Society.
Of course, when you are still fixated on Karl Rove, it shows you don't have a lot to talk about.
And to accuse the CoC and the Republicans of taking "secret foreign funds" is a bit hypocritical after what we learned about Bill Clinton's sources of campaign funding, right?
"Uhhhh.....yeaaaah."
Yeah. Remember James Riady, John Huang, Johnny Chung, Charlie Trie and all the Chinese money? Of course you do.
Except in this case, it is speculation on the part of the Dems. There is no proof. It's all one big "possibly".
All in all, this looks like one of those Alan Grayson ads. If an ad like this gets the Dems a jump in the polls, which I can't believe it will, it sure says something about the intelligence of the American electorate, right?
"Uhhhhhh............yeaaaah."
Psssst. I got a hot tip that the Little Sisters of Mercy are collecting secret funds for the Republicans.
You talk about desperation.

Shall we look into Obama's campaign funding for 08? He has never released the names of his donors under $100. What does he have to hide?
For many years the United Mine Workers of America provided in its constitution that no person is eligible for membership who belongs to the Nazi Party, the Communist Party, or the Chamber of Commerce. My great grandfather was a proud member of the United Mine Workers of America, and like its president, the late, great, John L. Lewis, a life long Republican.
I find this linkage credible. But you should leave the Sisters of Mercy alone. Just because we are both Methodists doesn't mean we have to spread scurrilous rumors about our Roman Catholic fellow citizens.
Siarlys,
???!!!?!???!!
Hmm! Did the Democrates forget the documented donations from the Gaza money raising efforts to send funds via Hamas to the Obama campaign? I think they call this foreign donations and from a certified terrorist organization. The democrates say that they returned the money, but the Gaza officials say that they never recieved the money. Oh, BTW, Obama gave Hamas 400 million dollars in un-needed aide after the ITT flotilla was stopped by the Israeli Navy.
The Dems are dust!

Sorry Gary, I really didn't set out to burst all your balloons this week, but its so easy I can't help myself.
Squid,
Yes, they have forgotten. BTW, Atlas Shrugs has a posting on that very topic.
Siarlys,
Keep believing that.
" ... and like its president, the late, great, John L. Lewis, a life long Republican."
I thought Lewis had changed parties several times so I looked it up on the AFL/CIO website http://www.aflcio.org/aboutus/history/history/lewis.cfm
Here are a couple of excerpts: "Raised in a Republican household, Lewis had allied himself with the GOP during the 1920s. But after the Republicans lost control of Congress and Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected president in 1932, Lewis sought Democratic support for his ideas—and the Democrats proved more receptive than the Republicans had been. "
"By the end of World War II, however, Lewis' national stature had diminished. In 1936, Lewis and Hillman had founded Labor's Non-Partisan League and helped re-elect President Roosevelt. But in 1940, frustrated with Roosevelt's war policies and his nonsupport of labor during the "little steel" strike of 1937, Lewis endorsed the Republican candidate for president. When American workers failed to follow his lead and abandon Roosevelt, Lewis resigned as president of the CIO. In 1942, he broke with the industrial union movement he had helped create and took the UMWA out of the CIO."
BTW "... I really didn't set out to burst all your balloons this week, but its so easy I can't help myself."

Miggie, I never thought I would see the day you would reference the AFL-CIO web site as a credible source.
Try ABC-CLIO's Encyclopedia of the Great Depression and the New Deal:
"Lewis, a life-long Republican... resigned as CIO president in 1940, when his endorsement of Republican Wendell Wilkie for president failed. Most CIO executives favored firm alliance with Roosevelt and the Democratic Party. In 1936, Lewis considered Roosevelt's reelection essential, personally campaigning with him. After Roosevelt's 'a pox on both your houses' comment during a strike against Republic Steel Co., Lewis foresaw weakness in any party taking labor's votes for granted."
The same events, almost the same description, but only a few more facts create a whole different perspective... not that your recitation really contradicted anything I said.
Speaking of Hamas, does anyone remember the tapped communication from al Qaeda saying "We have to prefer the election of John McCain"???
